The dj for my wedding is really good. He has played at a bunch of my friend’s weddings and he was the first thing i booked when i got engaged.

His website states that he travels “all throughout New England with any travel expeneses.” Just this morning I got an email from him asking for any hotel recommendations in the area since it is a 4 hour drive for him to go back. This got me thinkng….some of the other vendors I was looking into had it posted on their websote that travel/hotel accomodations must be provided by the bride and groom.

In this case, do you think I should book for and pay for the hotel for my dj? The hotels in the area are quite pricey and I feel bad because he would hardly be making a lot of money then to drive 4 hours, dj a 5 hour wedding and then drive back 4 hours. What do you guys think?

If you are able to pay for it then I would. Our photographer is driving 2 hours to our wedding and we are paying for her hotel room for the night. She didn’t ask or require us to, but 4 hours of driving on top of 8+ hours of work is a really long day and I don’t feel comfortable making her drive back home by herself at 11:30pm.
